“In an ideal world I would have someone in place before the French Open. That would be ideal for me, but things don’t always work out perfectly,” Murray said.

“So, I need to think about it over the next 10 days or two weeks and really think about exactly what I want and what I need, and then go out and try and find the right person. But it’s not always simple.”

Murray is now focusing on bringing a new member in to his team, but has revealed it is not a simple process.

“It’s like when a football team try and find the perfect manager. The managers don’t always want to do it. It’s not as simple as picking the first person that comes to your head,” he continued.

“You need to think really hard about it, and they also need to be really keen on doing it, keen on the travel and doing enough weeks – which, of course, not everyone is keen on travelling for 30 weeks per year.”
